Why Not Add A Ceramic Coating

A ceramic coating is the perfect way to lock in your freshly polished shine, sealing the paint with a durable protective layer that keeps your car looking cleaner, glossier, and better protected for far longer.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

We were amazed. Our 10‑year‑old Beetle was faded and looking tired, but Ian absolutely transformed it. The paint looks incredible again and we’ve now decided to keep the car rather than sell it — all for the cost of a large service. Brilliant work.”

FAQ MACHINE POLISHING

Can i just have one panel machine polished to remove a scratch?

If your paintwork is generally in good condition, we can correct individual panels rather than polishing the entire vehicle.
This is ideal for:
• Isolated scratches on doors, wings or bumpers
• Bird‑lime etching
• Localised scuffs or dull patches
It’s a cost‑effective way to tidy up problem areas without committing to a full‑car polish.

Understanding a single stage machine polish?

Ideal for vehicles with light defects such as:
• Swirl marks
• Light hedge scratches
• Minor dullness or hazing
This gives the paint a noticeable lift, improving gloss and clarity without the cost of a full correction.

Is machine polishing expensive?

Machine polishing offers excellent value for money, with single‑panel scratch improvement starting from around £60 per panel. This is ideal when only one or two areas need attention rather than committing to a full‑vehicle polish.
For full‑car machine polishing, both single‑stage and multi‑stage correction are available. Pricing depends on the overall condition of the paintwork, the level of correction required, and the finish you want to achieve. Vehicles with heavier defects, deeper scratches or significant dullness may require multi‑stage polishing for the best results.
Machine polishing is a cost‑effective way to dramatically improve gloss, clarity and overall appearance without the expense of repainting.

Multi-Stage Machine Polishing

A multi‑stage polish uses two or more stages, typically a cutting stage followed by one or more refining stages.
It’s designed for vehicles with moderate to heavy defects.
A multi‑stage polish will:
• Remove deeper scratches and heavier swirl marks
• Correct oxidation, dullness and sun damage
• Reduce holograms
• Produce a sharper, glossier, more reflective finish
This is the right choice when you want the highest possible finish or when the paintwork has more serious defects that a single‑stage polish cannot fully correct.

Why a professional machine polish?

Many people make the mistake of buying a cheap polisher and assuming it’s simple to machine polish a car. Unfortunately, this often leads to damage.

Machine polishing is a skilled process, and without the right knowledge and equipment, it’s very easy to burn through paint, especially on plastic bumpers and edges, or to leave the vehicle covered in holograms and swirl marks.

We have invested thousands in the correct professional equipment, including:

Multiple polishers for different paint types and contours.
Around ten different compounds for varying levels of correction.
Dozens of pads, each carefully selected based on your vehicle’s colour, age, manufacturer, paint hardness, and the result we’re trying to achieve

How long does machine polishing take?

Machine polishing can take anywhere from a few hours for a single‑stage enhancement on newer or well‑kept paintwork, to a full day or more when the paint requires deeper correction and rectification

Is it worth considering a Ceramic Coating after a machine polish?

It’s well worth considering a ceramic coating after a machine polish. The polishing process completes most of the preparation work, meaning your vehicle is already more than halfway ready for coating. We also regularly offer discounted ceramic coating packages when booked alongside a machine polish, making it great value for long‑term protection.

Do you use special lighting?

Our studio is equipped with 16 large, purpose‑built lights designed to reveal even the smallest paint defects. Alongside this, we use specialist portable inspection lights to check every angle of the paintwork, ensuring nothing is missed and the finish is as perfect as possible.
